dchanges-3.3 comments and patch
Hi all!
here is the patch for dchanges-3.3, it's a simple typo.
without it, dchanges refuses to add the Files: section
if no .tar.gz file is included.

then

so the upload procedure is (corrected and simpliefied):
- build binary package
- run dchanges *.deb
- edit the changes file, so that the maintainer field
shows your name and adress. this field is (in the .changes
file) a misnomer, a better name would be Signed-by: or
Built-by:
- rename the changes file from *.changes to *.m68k.changes
- upload them to the intel upload area.
i've uploaded (without signing the .changes file)
dpkg-1.2.3elf.m68k.changes
dpkg-1.2.3elf.m68k.deb
dpkg-1.2.3elf.m68k.nondebbin.tar.gz
to chiark.chu.cam.ac.uk (to use chiark cd to /pub/debian/private/project/
and read the README.how-to-upload) and will tell you what'll happen.
ciao
